Revelation 21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.
24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).
26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
The greater the revelation of FATHER, the closer HE is to you. Some would place HIM in some far off galaxy. Others would confine HIM to the local church or temple. The revelation of Love places HIM in you! Our egos would talk us out of that reality by stating we are undeserving. However Jesus had no problem in walking and fellowshipping with the ungodly during His earthly ministry for there was not one Godly person to hang out with at the time. That’s why He came, to restore mankind to an intimate fellowship with FATHER. Paul stated it in 1 Corinthians chapter 6:
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
A temple is a dwelling place and HIS Spirit resides in us, not in some building a few block or miles away. Within that dwelling place is a light that cannot be put out but is meant to shine forth as the noonday sun. This Glory was prophesied in Habakkuk chapter 2:
14 For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
As the waters cover the sea.
This earth is both your body and the physical earth, there will be no place where the Glory is missing for FATHER is omnipresent. Paul encouraged the Beloved brethren to expect and obtain this same glory in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2:
13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The church has been likened to the moon which reflected the light of the sun. It was a lesser light. That age of the lesser light is now at its end so the greater light will shine forth. The greatest light of all of creation is now descended upon the earth for all of mankind to see. In the presence of HIS Glory, no sin or lawlessness can approach for the impurity will not be allowed in the presence of this pure Love and righteousness. This result of this light has impacted the surroundings to the point that the transparency is described as glass. Now the gold is seen not only as 99.999% pure but 100%! Divine Nature has removed the last blemish or impurity thus bringing forth 100% transparency. No longer will you be concerned with the intent of others, for in this city only FATHER’S Intent will lead those who dwell therein.
Where FATHER is, so is HIS Glory! As each of us embraces that reality that HE can truly reside in us, not just externally, we will take on HIS Character, His Agape Love. As HIS Love permeates every cell, atom, and particle of our existence, we will shine forth HIS Glory. There will be no darkness found in us but only HIS Light will shine forth. As HIS Love becomes fully resident in us, darkness flees and we no longer walk in any other intent but HIS. We will then only partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life. We will no longer judge others by means of the soulish man. Our hearts will be pure and we will be content to “be” rather than “do”. We then will better understand the “Be-attitude”
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Those who embrace the revelation of Love allow their hearts to be purified by this Love and are led by HIS Spirit. The result is that their name or nature has placed them in the Lamb’s Book of Life. It is that simple, embrace it!
